How many of those fat clients are just wrappers around an HTML5 app? Phonegap gets a lot of love for making that possible in a cross-platform way. Be as pessimistic as you like about HTML5, but the reality is that it is already possible to use it to create full-featured and powerful RIA and cloud apps. It's just much easier to market and sell those apps to the masses when you take the extra step of converting them to native apps for listing in the various vendor app stores. And for the vast majority of apps, which will never sell (think corporate and/or free as in freedom), you never even need to think about native, because HTML5 is already native to every device you care about. It already has a wider installed base than Flash or Silverlight could ever hope for! _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation
